My experience with my local parts houses is that usually they can’t get the OE parts any faster than I can get them shipped to me from Summit. That’s not ALWAYS the case, but it’s often enough that you certainly couldn’t bet that a local parts house would have an OE part in stock for a ‘70’s Mopar.
I know for a fact around here you’d have an easier time finding a replacement pertronix unit than an OE Mopar ignition box.
Regardless it’s not at all a given that keeping OE 70’s Mopar parts on your can means you’re more likely to be able to find the replacement part on the shelf where to broke down. That’s not a given at all.
Yeah exactly. Most of the OE 70’s Mopar parts aren’t on the shelf here. You can get them next day usually, but I can get most stuff Summit carries next day too.
